Trump Calls Migrant Caravan a National Emergency

WASHINGTON-President Trump on Monday said the US would cut off or "substantially reduce" foreign aid to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, as a caravan of thousands of Central American migrants-many of whom crossed the Mexican border illegally-continued its journey toward the U.S.

Trump also said the United States will start to cut aid to the countries where the migrants are from.

Honduran migrants hoping to reach the USA sleep in the southern Mexico city of Tapachula, Monday, Oct. 22, 2018, in a public plaza featuring a statue of Mexican national hero Miguel Hidalgo, a priest who launched Mexico's War of Independence in 1810.

Mexican police, who failed to stop them at that country's border with Guatemala, now serve as escorts for the caravan as it barrels north, its members clear that they have no intention of staying in Mexico, and have eyes only for the U.S.

More than 3,400 Hondurans migrants had been returned to their home country over the past 48 hours by Sunday afternoon, according to a migrant assistance body led by the wife of Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, Ana Garcia de Hernandez.

The migrant caravan could number as many as 20,000 by the time it reaches the United States's southern border.

After blaming the Democrats for "weak laws" on immigration a few days earlier, Trump said on Twitter on Monday: "Every time you see a Caravan, or people illegally coming, or attempting to come, into our Country illegally, think of and blame the Democrats for not giving us the votes to change our pathetic Immigration Laws!".

Trump, who has made immigration a central part of his platform, earlier threatened to halt aid to the region, and potentially close the USA border with Mexico with the help of the military if the migrants' march is not stopped.
